8/10 Good
"Property location was right on the beach which was perfect. Breakfast was plentiful, served to you, with a number of selections in addition to only 1 egg option which changed daily. Room was clean but dated. Kitchenette consisted of a small bar fridge and 2 cooking elements. A microwave would have been great. Bathroom amenities were minimal - a tiny piece of soap and an all purpose shampoo/shower gel. Better quality and more would have been nice. No issue with shower pressure. A little confused about the room cleaning schedule - not everything cleaned/ changed everyday. Nothing done on Sunday. Would have been nice just to have the garbages changed everyday and towels every other day. Gym is bare minimum - not worth paying extra money to stay here just to have access to it. No issue with getting umbrellas on the beach - no extra charge. Parking immediately by the hotel for around 8-10 vehicles - there is a private lot very close that the hotel can use, owned by one of the restaurants but it gets locked so accessing may be difficult when the restaurant is not open. For the price we paid, we would probably look elsewhere next time."

Maleme Mare Beach Resort Hotel

8/10 Good
"The hotel itself is immaculately maintained, with beautiful, well-kept grounds that create a lovely first impression. Housekeeping was excellent throughout our stay, and our room was cleaned to a high standard every day. The majority of guests appeared to be over 60, along with a few couples travelling with very young children, mainly from Eastern Europe. There were very few UK visitors during our stay. I travelled with my two teenagers (17 and 18) during the May half-term holiday, and they were a little disappointed that there was no one in their age group to socialise with. If you’re interested in boating or water sports, you’ll likely find plenty to enjoy. However, as my teens are non-swimmers and not particularly interested in water-based activities, we found there was less to do on-site. That said, the hotel provided information on local excursions and activities, which proved invaluable. We particularly enjoyed Pista Go Karting, which had excellent facilities and high-quality karts. We also took a Segway tour of Chania, which was both fun and informative from a historical perspective. One of my teenagers even went paragliding and was told it was the first time a hotel guest had ever requested it! Given the hotel’s typical clientele, that wasn’t entirely surprising. Most of the staff were warm, welcoming, and helpful. Special mention must go to Stavros and Elena, who were an absolute mine of information and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed"
